ok all you cant get anymore specific than this here are the photos
When you get to GABRIELS-you need to take a left/right towards ONCHIOTA--I will post a RED sign with black lettering on both sides of road so you can see it from both directions
-turns towards ONCHIOTA-it is 6 miles -6- to my mother in laws antique store on corner of ONCHIOTA-we live in a tiny bumpkin town 200-300 people no stores or what not unless you go back to Gabriels-and Gabriels is just a corner store-so If you come into Lake Placid or Saranac Lake and need groceries or what not get it in those two towns ( they are only 15 minutes from my house)
-You will drive straight-DO NOT TAKE THE BEND IN THE ROAD THAT TURNS TOWARDS THE RIGHT- you will pass a tiny blue house on right-GO SLOW as its right there-I have 2 driveways-please do not come down them unless you have arranged it with me-there will not be turn around areas as you would go through the crowd..LOL
-First driveway you will see this garage-NOT OURS-our driveway is immediately after that on right
what it looks like down that driveway
you wil see this garage right after that driveway ( OUR GARAGE) yes the mess will be cleaned DH works up there for work
from our garage you wil see this-there's alot os road to park on sides please
go a tad further ( 3 seconds) and you will come upon this flower set up at the top of our other driveway
There can be parking at the top of that driveway if you can squish as there are 2 turnaround areas up there
There are miles of parking spots up at the road-since it is soo close to my house please park up there--and please dont block other driveways-my neighbors will hunt me down hahaha
Heres where everything will take place-you can see where Dh spent the past 2 weekends clearing it out and maoving back the driveway a good 15-20 feet!!
In fact he is still out there will Im cooking the Ziti
Part of before photos-much worse two weeks ago-as I have been splitting and stacking wood non stop to get it out of the way for us

Moving trees to make it wider for Gretchens trailor Princess Gretchen LOL
Moving pallets of wood

NO unsupervised kids at anytime unless they are 10 and older-there is water everywhere around me and I dont care how good of a swimmer someone tells me their children are-that scares me and I dont need that uneeded stress of worrying sick over others children.
There is an enclosed trampoline-no more than 3 children at a time-Supervised by their parents. If you see more than that-Please tell me and I will take care of it or FEEEL FREE to do so yourselves-more than that and I have had and seen children get hurt-

Now those who know me know Im am REALLY easy to get along with and I love to have fun-but when it comes to jeapordizing the safety of a child or my birds-
All my birds will be locked up for the duration of chickenstock so as not to cause any cross contamination or harm to them. So we really shouldnt have to worry about children getting into them
Other than that-just repsect from them and my property-it is really easy as long as all the parents keep an eye on their kids and the kids understand the areaas where they can and cannot go-which I will show people as they come
Thank you for asking and I hope I dont seem too harsh-but I have to be with this many people coming-
-We need tents-large tents just in case the weather looks bad-Please tell me if you can bring one and we will wait until the last minute to look at the weather forcast deciding if we need all of them
-I will get a sign in book too-I want to see how many came and get opinions for the next one for improvements and what they liked...
-I will have a section where all animals can go-I DO NOT have a Safe place to house them over night :-( we do have lots of predators and Im so sorry-I do have an upper garage ( Hubby's work shop) I cannot leave that open though as all his tools and such are in there-so Ill make trips with people to put birds in there if needed and lock them up for everyone's safety
